  • Abstract
    A novel all-optical differential phase-shift keying wavelength converter based on semiconductor optical amplifier nonlinearities is demonstrated in the 25- to 40-Gb/s range with pseudorandom binary sequence of 27-1, and its regenerative properties as well as the cascadability are discussed
